Shang Boyu looked at her face, his heart collapsing somewhere. He answered irrelevantly, his voice hoarse, "Why am I in the hospital?"
"Assistant Liang saw that you had fainted and were burning with fever, so he sent you to the hospital. I came here as soon as I received his call."
Meng Sheng sighed, "Have you been pushing yourself too hard recently? You need to take a good rest, or you'll wear yourself down."
Shang Boyu held her hand, his eyes heavy, "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Meng Sheng met his gaze and said calmly, "I care about you."
Hearing this, he rolled his throat and his eyes suddenly became hot, "Wife, I love you, more than anyone else in the world."
"Well. Let's eat first." Meng Sheng tilted his head, responded softly, and handed him the chopsticks.
Shang Boyu pursed his lips, seemingly not very satisfied with her reaction.
But nothing was said.
He now had only one thought.
That is to find ways to keep Meng Sheng by his side.
He even began to be afraid of sleeping. After a meeting this morning, he felt so sleepy that he took a nap in the office for half an hour and ended up having a dream.
He dreamed that Meng Sheng yelled at him with despair and pain in his eyes, "Shang Boyu, I hate you! I curse you to die a miserable death in this life and never be reborn."
The next scene changed to show many policemen gathered around a lake. There were some whitish bodies on the shore and a forensic doctor was doing a preliminary examination.
But when he looked closely, the face was clearly Meng Sheng.
He woke up from a nightmare, feeling as if his whole heart was torn apart. The pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe. Finally, his eyes went black and he passed out.
After a long while, he suppressed the emotions surging in his chest and whispered, "Shengsheng, now... I only have you."
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"
He raised his pleading eyes and begged humbly, "Please don't leave me in this life, okay?"
Meng Sheng moved her lips. Perhaps the promise was too heavy and she couldn't say it easily.
She couldn't even tell a lie.
The words on his lips twisted into a ball, and after half a minute they condensed into one sentence, "What's wrong with you? If you have anything, tell me, don't keep it in your heart."
There was a hint of disappointment in Shang Boyu's eyes.
Is she unwilling to even say the words to coax him?
She wasn't like this before.
She is gentle, considerate and bright, and her love for him is restrained but full.
He felt a little bitter in his throat, but he continued to ask, "Shengsheng, you won't leave me and will stay by my side forever, right?"
Meng Sheng was a little annoyed by his questions.
She knew that his radical reaction now was simply because he was stimulated by the truth told by the whistleblower.
This was his way of forcing her to make a promise.
Make the promises he wants to hear.
She pursed her lips and asked him back with calm eyes, "You ask this because you think I will leave you in the future? Do you know something? Or did you hear something from someone?"
Shang Boyu was stunned by her question.
yes.
He was just afraid that one day in the future, she would divorce him and throw herself into Pei Sui's arms.
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
He met Meng Sheng's eyes, which seemed emotionless and inexplicably distant.
It was like a prisoner who had been imprisoned for a long time, being questioned sharply by the presiding judge and the prosecutor, unable to breathe fresh air.
He probed in a hoarse and dark voice, "Will you... betray me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Sheng suddenly laughed, "Shang Boyu, what exactly are you doubting now? You might as well say it directly. Don't beat around the bush. I don't understand."
Shang Boyu's temptation was like a rat in the gutter, staring at her hungrily.
It made her extremely uncomfortable.
She admitted that she was not a good person and that she had taken advantage of him, but she did not think she was wrong.
And I have a clear conscience.
Sometimes people just have to be a little selfish. What will be the consequences if they continue to show kindness like they did in the past?
Betrayal and stabbing.
It would be really stupid for her to go back on her way.
Shang Boyu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly grabbed her hand and explained, "Wife, that's not what I meant. I...I can give you everything, including my life, as long as...you stay by my side!"
There was an indescribable madness in his almost pleading voice when he said the last sentence.
That's right.
It's just crazy.
Meng Sheng felt strangely creepy and didn't want to continue this topic, so he opened the lid of the food and said, "Let's eat. It won't taste good if it's kept hot."
Shang Boyu suppressed the burning and scorching thoughts in his heart and replied softly, "Okay."
Meng Sheng stayed with Shang Boyu in the ward the whole afternoon, and his fever only subsided slowly around eight o'clock in the evening.
The doctor’s advice was to stay in the hospital for one night to make sure the symptoms didn’t recur, and I could be discharged tomorrow morning after getting the injection.
Shang Boyu felt sorry for her keeping watch, but he didn't want to let her go back. When it was time to sleep, he deliberately moved to the side and said, "Wife, come and sleep here."
Meng Sheng’s first reaction was rejection.
I don't want to sleep in the same bed with him.
She could only gently prevaricate, "This bed is too small. It's hard for two people to turn over on it. You didn't sleep well last night. Go get some rest."
"Then you sleep upstairs, and I'll sleep on the sofa."
Meng Sheng laughed, "You are a patient now. What kind of person would I be if I slept on the sofa? Well, just sleep peacefully. I am here... to accompany you."
The last sentence she said was very light, but it sounded very heavy in his ears.
His heart, which had been drifting on the sea, instantly calmed down.
He didn't sleep all night last night, and even though he slept for a long time today, he feels very tired now.
After the restlessness in my chest disappeared, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
It was boring to stay in the hospital alone, especially after staying there for a week.
bite!
Suddenly, a crisp WeChat notification sound was heard in the quiet ward.
It was sent by Pei Sui.
[Would it be convenient for us to meet tomorrow? I have something for you. ]
A hint of surprise flashed across Meng Sheng's eyes, and he typed: [What is it? ]
【pen.】
pen?
Meng Sheng's brain paused for a few seconds before he suddenly remembered the Qianyu pen that brought them together.
but……
That pen was an important piece of evidence in Xue Xinyue's case, and it couldn't be returned.
She asked: [Is it a Qianyu fountain pen? ]
Pei Sui: [Yes.]
Meng Sheng was even more surprised. Before he could react, Pei Sui sent another message: [Are you free tomorrow? ]
She subconsciously glanced at the man sleeping soundly on the bed, thought for a few seconds, and replied: [I may not be available tomorrow, I am in the hospital now. ]
Pei Sui on the other end of the phone frowned when he saw the word "hospital".
【What's wrong?】
Meng Sheng: [Shang Boyu has a high fever and is in the hospital. He seems to know that I reported Yueqifang and that you are my attorney.]
Pei Sui frowned a little deeper, and the emotion on his face was unclear.
After thinking for nearly ten minutes, he asked: [In the Central Hospital? ]
Meng Sheng: [Yes.]
Pei Sui: [I will go there around 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.]
Meng Sheng was startled. Just as his hand touched the keyboard, another text came: [I have something to ask Shen Qingyan. ]
She could only withdraw the question she wanted to ask and replied with an "OK".
That night, she lay on the sofa for four or five hours, but her sleep was not good and she woke up before dawn.
Around eight o'clock, Meng Sheng received another WeChat message from Pei Sui: [We'll be at the entrance of the inpatient department in five minutes, come down.]
"I'll go downstairs and be back soon." She turned off her phone and said to Shang Boyu.
Shang Boyu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
She couldn't find a suitable excuse, so she just made one up, "Go see Aunt Ren."
Watching her leaving, Shang Boyu's eyes became dark and sinister.
When she spoke just now, her eyes visibly dodged.
She is lying.
Shang Boyu's heart sank. He pursed his lips and thought for more than ten seconds, then lifted the quilt and followed.
